C'mon you technos, gimme answers NOW .....please.

sorry to inform you but blur-ay is indeeed region locked, hd-dvd wasnt but sony had too much bribe money available to get its inferior format to win the format war.

oh i forgot to add if you are thinking of buying one its very important to check what version of blur-ay it uses, in order to try to catch up with hd-dvd they kept making new versions and each new version required a new player (except using a ps3 but those have typical low quality sony lasers), if you do buy one make sure its bd2.0 (or bd+) and can be updated by disc or online in case they bring out yet another "profile".

the best blur-ay player is the panasonic and they can be "chipped" to allow multi region, they also do multi region dvd and have divx playback too, sorry i cant recall the model number off hand.

Oooh thanks.

if all you want is blur-ay playback and that model has outputs compatible with your home theatre audio system then yes its just fine and is updateable / online.

i just looked and ours is the panasonic dmp-bd55k (chipped to all region) but again we went for that model because it had the correct audio outputs we needed, the bd 35 model is cheaper and offers the same features but just lacks some of the output ports

try this website. It gives you the best deals, specs etc
